Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war was going badly for America in 1942, but the Tebo shipyard was bursting with ships and the waterfront bars were exploding with sailors, hustlers, and shipyard workers. When a smashed rivet ship limped into port requiring urgent repairs, Terry Peirce, in charge of personnel, had to hunt down hard-drinking, temperamental rivet gangs to handle the job. War fever consumed the nation. Girls like the bewitching Viola Wakeless went mad for gold braid while Terry, crazy for Viola, tried to break free of her. Brilliantly depicted here, this was an electric time like no other in America’s history.
Download or read book Broken Yesterdays written by Joseph William Meagher and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-04-18 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1922, at the age of four, Joseph William Meagher contracted polio, leaving him with a back shaped like the harp of his Irish ancestors. Only all-night massaging by the family doctor saved him from a wheelchair life. After a barbaric (and fruitless) treatment to straighten his spine, Joe returned home to the shelter of a loving family. But little by little, the cold eye of the outside world made clear to him how different he was. His parents took medical advice and sent Joe off to Port Jefferson, Long Island, to spend the next four years at a hospital/school for crippled children. Though many there were severely disabled, they had the same unquenchable zest for life as any other kids, and with great innocence and gusto went about the business of being kids in the best way they could. In addition to presenting a picture of the very beginnings of rehabilitative therapy, Broken Yesterdays is the unswervingly candid and often amusing memoir of a boy who learned early that tears did no good, and that he faced a choice: Either surrender to the bitterness of being different or, through strength of will, make the best of what he had in him. Fortunately for his readers, Joseph William Meagher made the right choice."
Download or read book Demons to Doughnuts written by Joseph William Meagher and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-05-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEMONS TO DOUGHNUTS joins two novellas as different as a cold December moon and strawberry pudding. THE TIPTOP JELLY DOUGHNUT, all warm sunshine and good eats, will delight dreamers and lovers of jelly doughnuts from eight to 108. It is set in a lovely land called the Kids' Republic where nobody over ten is allowed. Here the government is run (quite well) by babies. At the helm is President Baby Bumkey, seventeen months old and a born leader. For diplomatic reasons it is urgent that the baker of certain sublime jelly doughnuts be found so he can supply them for a vital state banquet. But the baker of these glorious doughnuts, having reached the age of ten, has been obliged to leave the comfort and safety of the Kids' Republic. Three children and a Six O'Clock Cat are chosen to make the perilous journey Somewhere Out There to find him. Will they succeed? In contrast, THE LUCIFER GYPSIES is a haunting chiller set in nineteenth-century New England. In this dark and fascinating tale a casket-maker inadvertently insults a band of gypsies who happen to be wards of the Devil. In their fury they inflict on the poor shopkeeper a fiendishly cunning curse which he must somehow overcome to survive.

Download or read book The Family Overhead written by Joseph William Meagher and published by Author House. This book was released on 2004-02-05 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Con and Margaret Mary Skilly, an elderly couple who have always longed for children, begin finding abandoned children left and right, they never question their good luck but simply raise the three foundlings with love and devotion. Too soon the three kids are left on their own again. It's the Depression, with more feet than shoes, more appetites than dinners, when rumrunners wear diamonds big as knuckles, even the cops have favorite speakeasies, and the thrills of radio and the talkies hold the nation spellbound. Only Birdy's Regina wants the kids. A diffident, self-effacing young woman, she has always been cowed by her mother, bullied by her absurd husband, and intimidated by her own infant. But she turns out to have the heart of a lioness, and is determined to keep the foundlings free of the State's clutches. Along the way she finds a strong and completely unexpected ally. Joseph William Meagher brings to teeming life this Brooklyn neighborhood and the people in it who struggle for food and rent, love and fun, and everything that keeps life going. If characters caring deeply for one another are unfashionable, then this is an unfashionable novel. But such an enjoyable one!
